Actually pretty normal


Crazy, stupid, Love. (2011)

Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa this film stars Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore and Emma Stone. A young ladies man takes an older man going through the break up of his marriage under his wing.

There is a whole host of acting talent involved with this film but sadly most of them do not have much to work with. By far the funniest person in the film is Emma Stone and I can not help but think this film would have worked better if the Emma Stone/Ryan Gosling story line was the central one as it is more interesting than the main plot which has been played out plenty of times in film. Most of the film is pretty good and there is a great twist but the transformation scene at the end really pushes the boundaries on cheesy, trite, rubbish that you have seen plenty of times before.

3/5
